Congratulations

I saw a new Bz4x in Chiang Mai yesterday, I can’t imagine anyone buying that either. (I think that’s what they call it)

Is the Leaf still available? I thought it was withdrawn because of warranty claims on the battery as it lacked liquid cooling.

The seal has an excellent DynAudio sound system

Denude means to strip or make bare. I think we both agree violence leads to violence and hatred. Someone has to break that cycle. I don’t agree with wholesale letting off either, there has to be a quid pro quo of some sort, but not massacring innocent civilians. The likely outcome at the moment will be the hostages killed and the next generation of Palestinian children growing up wanting Jihad with Israel.

I think it’s fanciful thinking by the Israeli Gov’t that they can denude Hamas for any specific length of time with their actions, and we all know that what people say and what they mean aren’t always the same thing. IMHO, the only thing that will denude Hamas is the will of the Palestinian people. The Israeli Gov’t needs to find a solution that appeals to the Gazan people’s hearts and minds and that won’t happen overnight. This violence will only fuel Hamas or their successors & inflames the Arab world in general. I still believe revenge is the principal motive here, I also believe Israel will annex part of Gaza.

50 baht per hour seems to be the norm, it’s still only about 300 baht to charge up about 42 KwHrs ie 15% to full on an MG4 I would like to drive the seal and get to know its handling, I doubt the salesman would let me drive it that spiritedly. The Seal looks fantastic, as does the MG4. The Seal looks and feels much more luxurious and is better equipped and the performance model could get it’s 530hp down, the MG4 sometimes struggles to do that with it’s 172 hp. The Seal is worth double the price of the MG4 and is probably the 2nd best EV in Thailand, the best being 5x more expensive.

When I test drove one with my Brother In Law, it was a very sunny day. I didn’t find much heat coming through the roof glass. I think the roof panel cuts down the transmitted heat to negligible, however, I suspect if the vehicle is stationary in the sun then that panel will get hot and radiate heat onto your head until such time as the vehicle is moving and the panel cooled to nearer ambient temperature by the wind over the car. Incidentally, I had to start the test drive and they copied my licence as my BIL only had an Australian licence, the salesman let us swap over half way and he ordered one online in Australia 10 minutes later. I was very impressed with the car, it has a luxury feel and a superb driving position. I found the suspension a little soft, perhaps that firms up on the performance model with Sport selected.

I have no issue with Israeli’s or Palestinians. I have worked with the Israeli’s in the area of security over many years both directly and as customers of my software house, and that work has touched the lives of any of you who have ever used Suvarnabhumi. I count many Israeli’s as friends, some of them are very unhappy with the Israeli gov’ts response. This is my opinion FWIW Hamas are terrorists The Gazan civilians must be considered innocent The Israeli citizens must be considered innocent The Israeli gov’ts response to the appalling attack by Hamas terrorists is not proportionate and looks more like bloody revenge than a plan with a clear route to the objective of rescuing their kidnapped citizens. Israel must attempt to get its kidnapped citizens back, but not this way. The collateral damage is not proportionate to the rescue of 200 citizens . It seems more proportionate to bloody revenge & collective punishment than rescue. You never send teams into a hostage situation unless you know where they are, have a proper plan with a realistic chance of retrieving them with minimal collateral damage. I don’t believe the Israeli Gov’t knows where the hostages are. Whilst condemning Hamas and what they have done, I agree with the UN Chief that what is happening in Gaza is a clear violation of International Law. The last I read the citizens killed in Gaza was approaching 6,000 with 4 hostages freed by Hamas. Wholly unproportionate to the rescue of 200 hostages, where will it end? How many civilians have to die? 10,000? 100,000? All of them? IMHO, It is highly likely most of the hostages will get killed this way. I don’t offer a solution, because it would just deflect from my opinion that this one is wrong and will indoctrinate young Palestinians into growing up hating Israel and wanting to kill them, it’s a circle that has to be broken.

I promised your neighbours, I wouldn’t tell you

AliExpress do have the microphones, not cheap at about 2,500 each.

Maybe you can order it from AliExpress, perhaps in the future it will be annoying OAP’s singing karaoke in their cars with the windows down cruising around town instead of teenagers with their booming speakers?

It’s the same with their prices, they give “Prices after savings” ie what you would save if you did the estimated speed and their estimated car by having an EV over an ICE. This is what happens when you have a leader without checks and balances.

I though interviewing the housewife was hilarious.

Luddite 😉

My brother in law mentioned the BYD Seal in the UK has ADS (Alcohol Detection System). I wonder what it is and if we get it here?

I can read my posts for you, but I can’t understand them for you. I suggest you practice your English comprehension.

it’s very common to charge over 15% oa but it is illegal.

I suspect credit cards may be subject to different regulations, I don’t know as I don’t have one.

I’m calling BS. Those two statements are not the same, not even remotely the same. My comment said it was wrong for Israel to use bombing and massacring innocent civilians as a lever to get their citizens back. It couldn’t be farther from your fanciful interpretation. Are you incapable of reading and comprehending English?

I never said Israel has no justification to ask for its hostages back, read my posts and tell me where I said that? If you can’t I will accept your apology.

You are spouting rubbish. I absolutely condemn what Hamas has done, I have made it very clear here. My position is targeting the innocent civilians is wrong and looks more like revenge than a plan balanced with proper objectives and calculated acceptable collateral damage. Nothing I have said condones Hamas, nothing I have said condones Israel’s response. What’s shameful is you trying to imply I somehow support what Hamas has done in Israel. It’s clear I don’t. It’s also clear that nothing I say is going to change your view that thousands of innocent Palestinians being massacred is AOK, and nothing you can say will make me believe this massacre is justified. I am going to leave it at that.

That is a very valid point, we could say the same about Putin and Russia

It’s like saying if Germany buys gas from Russia they will stop bombing Ukraine. What a terrorist organisation is doing cannot be combatted by massacring thousands of innocents. Hamas giving up their hostages is outside the ability of the innocent people being massacred. It’s wrong for Israel to use this as a lever.
